Thanks to all for your kindly regards and comments :)
Steven, concerning to the public safety, our city are different from the
known issues of the northern states of the country. In the link you quote
for United States citizens are properly pointed for Mexico City: "no
advisory is in effect". Also, the Centro Historico area (the venue are in
the north of this Downtown area) is safe for tourism. But we will have in
addition the special support and coordination with the Mexico City
authorities for more vigilance and a special operative for reduce any risk
to the minimum in the venue and their perimeter.

Not a small concern. But, I should point out, one that we've dealt with
before. We had laptops stolen in Argentina, and physical safety concerns
in Alexandria, as I recall. I say this not to put a panacea of "oh, there
there, it'll be fine" in place, but to assure people that this is something
that I know that Garfield and Elle, and the rest of the WMF team working on
this will consider and keep in mind. :-)
